I finished the first season of Arcane. It's impressive, so artistic and strong in narrative telling. Every character has a marked personality conveyed through their every feature including their looks and body language. Highest pinnacle aesthetics, the scenery is captivating.

That being said, every transformers fan that watches it, perhaps, can't but notice the striking parallels with the Aligned and Idw1 lore. Actually... the background plot is quite the same.

The major problematic arises because there's a dramatic split of social hierarchy.

In Transformers, it exists the caste system and functionism. In Arcane, society is divided in high and low classes as well. Low castes are heavy work labourers, such as miners, gladiators, etc. They are rude, often violent, and outcasts. They suffer scarcities and unjustice from a government who despises them or is oblivious to their strife. The same for low classes in Arcane. (Save for existing gladiators)

High and mid castes are government, scientists, military, artists, not brute workers such as archivists. The same for Arcane.(save for archivists)

The different castes/classes are split in separate places. Low castes/classes are not allowed into the wealthy cities.

The low castes in Transformers and low classes in Arcane live in cities polluted by the vapors of factories and such, or that seem darkened somehow. The sick, the addicted and the mentally ill are common. Crime is not in short supply. Criminals are exiled or seek shelter there because there their activities are unnoticed.

Kaon (Transformers)

Zaun (Arcane)

Iacon (Transformers)

Piltover (Arcane)

The ruling entity is conformed by an association of a number of characters called the Council in both cases. (In Transformers there's also a Prime, which has no analog in Arcane)

The High Council and the Hall of justice. (Transformers)

The Council and their Tower. (Arcane)

There are also enforcers.

The antagonist is a menacing character, witty, terrifying and sexy arrogant as hell who has no qualms on use whatever means to get his way. They come from mines, they want freedom and autonomy to their kind but also crave power and know no boundaries. They value loyalty in a high degree and demand it, –the consequences of betrayal are dire. They endorse violence as way of change and are cruel and remorseless. They both have deep streaks of scars on their faces creasing their lips and share a liking for purple, dubious substances.

Megatron and Dark energon

Silco and the shimmer.

Also, they used to have an ally whom they referred to as brother, but who parted ways with them because of the virulent and dangerous, radical tendencies of the turned antagonist. These ally is/was noble, strong but kind and knows/learned that violence should be the last resort.

They both have as well subordinates that would follow them through hell because they, among other reasons, see in them that which any other. And these subordinates are feared and their own way of creepy.

Frag, it's Soundwave!

Oh, no, it's Jinx...!

And Sevika

Overal, the running story and focus is obviously very different, with various elements of their own, but honestly, the background plot and various parallels sometimes caused the fleeting feeling that I was watching a prewar tfp human steampunk version. Don't take me wrong, I loved Arcane and am very interested in the next season.

So why does starscream not simply take over? This megatron sounds like a pushover or is the loyalty to megs to high even when everyone knows megatron couldn't fight there way out of a paper bag. (I say this last part with affection but it's true.)

And also because every decepticon loves Megatron and sometimes Megatron would do the big puppy eyes thing no deception can resist lmao 💀

If Optimus is a data clerk, what is Ariel's role? How did Ariel become Elita-1? Is it by Trion or she chose to be called Elita-1?

Dear Temporal Tinkerer,

Ariel was a logistics coordinator for Iacon. Her duties included anticipating the arrival and distribution of shipments to and from the city as well as optimizing for fuel efficiency; in fact, she was an early proponent of storing energon in cube form. Her ability to compute and anticipate events to the nanosecond was legendary during the Golden Age of Cybertron. She often used this skill to tease Orion Pax, able to predict exactly how late he'd be when showing up for a date. You may not be surprised to hear that their dates often consisted of Ariel helping Orion to resolve minor discrepancies in his data, and with Orion giving the rapt Ariel lectures about the histories of everything he knew about. She would call him "the best", and in turn he would call her "the greatest", calling each other "elite" and "optimal" as nicknames.

After Megatron nearly destroyed them both, Alpha Trion rebuilt her as Elita-1, using the lessons he learned from creating Optimus Prime, amplifying her temporal sense to time distortion and even time stopping. As he rebuilt both of them, they each murmured each other's nicknames, and Alpha Trion was moved by this, giving each of them a variant of the nickname they'd given each other.

She was still being built when Optimus first faced down Megatron, and even from a distance, she helped him, slowing down time enough for the enemy to allow him to single-handedly demolish Megatron's army. Unfortunately, Alpha Trion's exile meant that she could not be fully trained in her abilities, leading it to become a (fatal) last resort.

Dear 13th Prime,

It’s been so long since we last heard from you! How are you faring? What have you’ve been doing since the last time we heard from you? And your family? How are they doing?

"I hope I will be just as good a leader as my siblings when I am done with my studies!"

In my AU each of the Primes have a colony of first era Cybertonians that would one day evolve into the many cities and colonies that are connected to Cybertron.

just scanning random allspark almanac pages that catch my eye rn tbh, picked this one I loved this scenery spread of Iacon, + Sari tells us about some cool new Autobots she's met. Many of these Autobots appeared in the Timelines TFA comic Moving Violations.

With your SG!lost light au, It gave me an idea. SG! Iacon who is obsessed with every leader that comes their way. Like the reason some primes lasted longer than others was because Iacon liked them.

Like a possessive SG!Iaconus? Hoooooo boy

Iacon is partially our system name too, so no worries fdjklgsjdgkl. We are still often shuffle our system name, like there's a lot we use. It's one because it's basically one of the Source cities. Could have used something else, but nAAAH /silly/ Though that does makes us founb pretty easily but who's searching for a city anyway. Not like it's a character name by any means.

Whoops, rant went wild. Wow, we don't mind being called "clanmate" at all! Strokes our ego to be considered [thing]mate if I can say that, haha

oooh I see!! also dw I dont mind rambles in my inbox (I ramble in yours dont I)

we're searching for a system name ourselves, we were thinking something related to a wonderland (bc the wonderland in alice in wonderland would be our ideal innerworld even if we dont have one) buttt thats associated with a system on tiktok who got harassed to hell and back for having 'too many members' and an 'intricate inner world' and so I feel like itd be disrespectful, so we're considering the name lookinglass system, as in alice through the looking glass (even though we havent finished reading that one) >:0

and hell yeah!! clanmates!!!

Anyone would use the joke "I found you in dumpster" in your AU?

Because idk why I think it would happen here-

I mean, I think? Lmao I don't rly know what the joke means but I guess so? I mean, Kaon was a dump compared to Iacon and Optimus first met Megatron when he went to visit Kaon. And I guess the situation Megatron was in at the moment was bad, like trash in a dumpster? Lmao idk I hope I got the meaning right

Dear, Vector Prime.

What was Big Convoy/Slammoth of Malgus cluster like? Megadeath is very similar to Big Convoy in the Primax cluster.

Dear Elephantine Examiner,

Big Convoy was descended from a great sparkline of heroes, and certainly lived up to the reputation set by his distant relative P.C. Magnus. He served on the Gamma Supreme, under the leadership of Longrack Major, and was one of the many Autobot heroes of the Great War. Unfortunately, Gamma Supreme was destroyed in the Battle for Iacon, alongside Longrack Major and most of his subordinates. Big Convoy survived, but was left with lasting trauma.

The Autobot High Council decided that a veteran struggling with survivor's guilt and anger issues would make an excellent instructor at boot camp, and the newly titled Big Convoy Major ended up in charge of fresh recruits.
